The Aprilia RS 660 Extrema 2023 is a remarkable addition to the middleweight supersport category. This model is based on the RS 660 platform, but it stands out due to its lighter weight, achieved by incorporating a number of carbon fiber components. The weight has been brought down to 366 pounds dry, which results in an attractive power-to-weight ratio, given the 100 horsepower produced by the 660’s parallel twin. A street-legal SC-Project exhaust system also contributes to the weight reduction, thanks to a silencer in carbon fiber. The mounting bracket for the exhaust bracket also allows for the removal of the passenger pegs. Both the front fender and bellypan are made of high-quality carbon fiber.

The RS 660’s electronic suite now includes a new quickshifter software that allows the rider to select a GP-style upside-down shifting pattern quickly and easily. This model has been lauded for its serious performance and versatility. It’s more practical than howling inline-four 600s in terms of overall flexibility and comfort but still plenty of fun around a racetrack or on a spirited street ride. The RS 660 Extrema is not just a sportbike; it’s a testament to Aprilia’s commitment to innovation and performance. With its impressive features and design, the Aprilia RS 660 Extrema 2023 is set to make waves in the motorcycle industry.
